Microsoft Delays Xbox One

Microsoft said Wednesday its goal of launching the Xbox One in 21 countries this year may have been overzealous.

In an announcement on its website, Microsoft said it will be delaying the new device’s launch in eight European markets, including Denmark, the Netherlands and Russia, until 2014. The software giant said the delay was in part due to the work done to translate its software into native languages, as well as its efforts to “build partnerships to bring apps and meaningful local content to each country.”
